Family Liaisons: Volunteers in the surgery lounge maintain a comforting environment for
families waiting on news about their loved one. Volunteers provide refreshments,
reading materials and information about the hospital and surrounding area,
while keeping visitors informed of a patient’s progress.
Gift Shop: Volunteers assist customers with gift selection and check out, and the
staff with displays and inventory.
Information: For those who enjoy serving the public, the hospital’s information
desks are an ideal location. These volunteers direct visitors throughout
the facility, answer phones, give visitors patients’ room numbers
and help locate doctors’ offices.
Ambassadors: Touro ambassadors may be the first person a patient or family meets as
they enter the hospital. These volunteers welcome, greet, direct, and
accompany patients and guests throughout the hospital.
Patient support
Infusion Center: Comfort cancer patients during their chemotherapy with warm blankets,
hot drinks, a light meal, and a menu of supportive activities.

families through Eucharistic ministry.
Staff support
Administrative: Volunteers assist the hospital’s administrative staff with copying,
filing, data entry, and assembling educational materials.
Clinical: Volunteers interested in medical careers serve in the emergency department
and the outpatient centers of the hospital.
